Michael, thank you for the info above.

Based on what you said about not being able to use CKEditor 4.x without 
a complete re-write of Imp js interface code, I completely cleared the 
directory where the Debian php-horde-editor package sets up the ckeditor 
sym links to the Debian CKEditor.

/usr/share/horde/js/ckeditor/

I also removed the sym link I added imp/core -> Debian CKEditor/core.

Then I copied the contents of horde/framework/Editor/js/ckeditor from 
the current Horde git repository into /usr/share/horde/js/ckeditor/.

And everything just works.

Please let the rest of us know when you core Horde devs think you might 
have the time to work on a sponsored upgrade of the Horde CKEditor code 
to the 4.x API so Horde can keep up with the latest security updates for 
CKEditor.  I am sure we will contribute to paying for that upgrade.

Thanks again.
